Offshore Fishing 101

Out here in the deep blue, we use a mix of techniques to target different species. For tuna and mahi-mahi, we might do some trolling with spreader bars or chunk bait. When we're after marlin or swordfish, we'll break out the heavy tackle and maybe even try some kite fishing if conditions are right. Bottomfishing for grouper or snapper? We'll drop lines with live bait or jigs. Whatever the target, we'll show you the ropes and make sure you're comfortable with the gear. It's all about adapting to what the fish want on any given day, and that's where our local know-how really shines.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Yellowfin Tuna: These torpedoes of the sea are the crown jewels of Gulf fishing. They're fast, powerful, and can grow to over 200 pounds. Yellowfin put up an incredible fight and make for some of the best sushi and sashimi you'll ever taste. They're around all year, but peak season is from March to October. When a school of these bruisers shows up, get ready for some serious action!

Blue Marlin: The ultimate trophy fish, blue marlin are the stuff of legends. These massive billfish can top 1,000 pounds and are known for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs. They're most common in the summer months, and even if you don't land one, just seeing a marlin in action is a memory you'll never forget. It's catch-and-release for these beauties, but we'll make sure you get plenty of photos to prove your epic battle.

Wahoo: If you want speed, wahoo is your fish. These streamlined predators are one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They're a blast to catch, with screaming runs that'll have your reel singing. Wahoo meat is delicious too – firm, white, and perfect for grilling. We see them year-round, but fall and winter tend to be the best times to target these speedsters.

Swordfish: The gladiators of the deep, swordfish are a true test of an angler's skill and patience. These deep-dwelling fish can weigh several hundred pounds and put up epic fights that can last hours. We typically target them at night or in the early morning using specialized deep-drop techniques. Swordfishing is as much about the experience as it is about the catch – it's a unique challenge that serious anglers love.

King Mackerel: Also known as "kingfish," these toothy predators are abundant in the Gulf and make for great action and good eating. They're fast swimmers that hit lures hard and make blistering runs. Kings are around most of the year but really show up in numbers during their spring and fall migrations. They're a great target when the seas are rougher and we can't get to the deep water spots.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks who fish with us in Venice aren't just coming for a day on the water – they're after the chance to land the fish of a lifetime. Our waters are teeming with some of the biggest, baddest fish you can find anywhere in the Gulf. It's not uncommon for first-timers to hook into triple-digit tuna or see their first blue marlin skyrocketing behind the boat. Plus, the variety here is insane. One minute you might be battling a yellowfin, the next you're reeling up a wahoo or watching a mahi-mahi dance across the surface. It's this mix of quality and quantity that keeps anglers coming back year after year.

Learn more about the species

Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin are the heavyweight champs of the Gulf, with females pushing 1,000+ pounds. These ocean-roaming giants show up in our waters from late spring through fall, drawn by warm currents and bait schools. You'll find them in the deep blue water beyond the shelf edge. Trolling with large lures or rigged ballyhoo is the go-to method. When a blue crashes the spread, hold on tight - the initial run can dump hundreds of yards of line in seconds. The aerial show these fish put on is unreal, with spectacular greyhounding leaps. It's a bucket list catch for many anglers. My tip: keep at least one pitch bait rigged and ready. Often you'll see them in the spread but not commit. A perfectly placed live bait can seal the deal.

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are a prized catch in Venice, typically weighing 20-40 pounds. These speedsters are found in the upper water column, often near oil rigs and drop-offs. Late summer through fall is prime time, when they follow bait schools closer to shore. Anglers love 'em for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. Their firm, white meat makes great steaks too. To hook one, try slow-trolling live bait like blue runners or mullet. Keep your drag set light - these fish can really scream line. A wire leader is a must to prevent bite-offs from their razor sharp teeth. When you see birds working the surface, that's a good sign kings are feeding below. Get ready for an arm-stretching fight when one of these silver missiles takes your bait.

Swordfish

Swordfish are the gladiators of the deep, averaging 100-300 pounds but capable of topping 1,000. We target them year-round in the Gulf, fishing depths of 1,200-1,800 feet. These ancient predators come up to feed at night, so that's prime time to hook one. We use large squid baits on heavy tackle with electric reels - it's like fishing in slow motion. When a sword takes the bait, get ready for a battle that can last hours. They're known for their endurance and powerful runs. The firm, white meat is a delicacy. Here's an insider tip: use lots of glow sticks on your leader. The swords are attracted to the light in the deep, dark water. It's an eerie sight when that glowing leader comes up with a massive broadbill attached.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are the drag-screaming speedsters of the Gulf, capable of 60+ mph bursts. These sleek, tiger-striped fish average 30-50 pounds but can top 100. We find them around offshore structure and current edges, often near the same spots as tuna. Late summer and fall are prime, when big ones move in chasing bait schools. Wahoo are prized for their blistering runs and tasty white meat. High-speed trolling with wire line and diving plugs is deadly. My secret weapon is a purple/black Braid Marauder lure. When a 'hoo hits, it's like hooking a runaway freight train - make sure your drags are cranked down tight. Keep that rod tip high and hang on, because these fish can easily spool you if you're not ready for that initial smoking run.

Yellowfin Tuna

Yellowfin Tuna are the bread and butter of Venice offshore fishing. These powerful fish average 30-80 pounds, but 100+ pounders aren't uncommon. We find them year-round, but peak season is March through November. They hang around oil rigs, deep water humps, and current breaks. Chunking with fresh pogies or slow-trolling live baits are top techniques. When you see birds working or tuna busting the surface, get ready for some rod-bending action. These fish fight like freight trains - be prepared for long, powerful runs. The meat is prized for sushi and steaks. Here's a local tip: when the bite is slow, try jigging butterfly jigs deep. Sometimes the big boys are hanging 200+ feet down, and a flutter jig will tempt them when nothing else will.
